Warning notice system

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning damage.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific task, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Proper use of Siemens products

2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna

Note User responsibility for modified product

As a user of the modified product, you accept responsibility for use of the complete RFID product comprising both SIMATIC RF600 components and third-party RFID components. This particularly applies to modification or replacement of:

● Antennas

● Antenna cables

2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna

2.3.1 Safety distance between transmitter antenna and personnel

For antenna configurations where it is possible to be briefly or constantly within the transmission range of the antennas, as in loading ramps, for example, minimum distances must be maintained.

Limits

The ICRP (International Commission of Radiological Protection) has worked out limit values for human exposure to HF fields that are also recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission of Non Ionizing Radiological Protection). In German legislation on emissions (since 1997), the following limit values apply. These can vary according to frequency:

Frequency f [MHz] Electrical field strength E [V/m] Magnetic field strength H [A/m] 10 - 400 27,5 0,073 400 - 2.000 1.375 x f

2.000 - 300.000 61 0,16

1/2

0.0037 x f

1/2

The limit values for the 900 MHz reader antenna alternating field are thus:

Electrical field strength: E = 41.25 V/m

Magnetic field strength: H = 0.111 A/m

HF power density: E x H = 4.57 W/m

2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna

2.3.2 Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with ETSI

Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with ETSI (EU, EFTA, Turkey)

At a transmission frequency of 900 MHz, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave λ is approximately 0.34 m. diminishes exponentially to the power three over distance, and for distances greater than 1 λ, it diminishes exponentially to the power two over distance.

For distances less than 1 λ in the near field, the electrical field strength

The horizontal line at 41.25V/m marks the "safety limit value".

For the maximum permisisble transmission power in accordance with ETSI (2W ERP), the "safety distance" d =

0.24 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 24cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (more than several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for a brief period, even for repeated periods (at a distance < 0.24 m), is harmless according to current knowledge.

If the transmitter power is set lower than the highest permissible value (2 watts ERP), the "safety distance" reduces correspondingly.

2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna

Note Reduced maximum radiated power with RF620R/RF630R readers

The SIMATIC RF620R (ETSI) reader has a maximum radiated power of 0.5 W ERP. The maximum safety distance is therefore 0.12 m.

The SIMATIC RF630R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmitter power of 0.5 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the type of antenna used, but must not exceed the 2 W ERP.

2.3.3 Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with FCC (USA)

Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with FCC (USA)

For the maximum permisisble transmission power in accordance with FCC (4W EIRP), the "safety distance" d = to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (more than several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for brief period, even repeated periods (at a distance < 0.26 m) is harmless to health according to current knowledge.

maximum safety distance is therefore 0.1xx m.

The SIMATIC RF630R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmitter power of 0.5 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the type of antenna used, but must not exceed the 4 W EIRP.

3.1 RF System SIMATIC RF600

SIMATIC RF600 is an identification system that operates in the UHF range. UHF technology supports large write/read distances with passive tags.

The SIMATIC RF670R reader the gate of a warehouse, automatically record every movement of goods, and signal these to the host systems. The data are filtered and compressed there by data management software at the control level in order, for example, to generate the receiving department transaction for the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system at the business administration control level. At the same time, the delivery can be automatically checked for correctness and completeness prior to storage by means of the electronic delivery list.

The general automation and IT structure of a company is shown in the following figure. This comprises several different levels that are described in detail below.

● Business administration control This level covers planning and control of the equipment used. For this purpose, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems are used with modules for cost accounting, financial bookkeeping and personnel management.

● Global integration Product information can be exchanged here at an inter-company level. This can be performed over the Internet with the help of special services.

3.1.1 Application areas of RF600

RFID (radio frequency identification) permits interruption-free tracking and documentation of all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods, warehouse, production logistics and distribution departments. A small data medium - referred to as SmartLabel, transponder or tag - is attached to every item, package or pallet, and contains all important information. The data medium receives the power it requires via an antenna which is also used for data transmission.
